Edward Cordell

Edward Cordell (1672-1715) was a buccaneer who operated in the Caribbean Sea during the Golden Age of Piracy.

Biography
Edward Cordell was born in Great Britain, and resorted to a life of privateering for the Royal Navy during the War of the Spanish Succession in order to make money for himself. He took large prizes from Spanish shipping and kept a part of it, the other parts of it going to Britain's treasury. When the war ended in 1714, he was out of a job, so he joined the Templar Order, who promised him riches.

Death
Cordell was tracked down to a shanty village in Tortuga by the Assassin Order recruit Reynalde Dard, where he was stabbed in the back of the head by her dagger. Cordell's death weakened the Templar Order in the Caribbean, as he was one of their new members who had a professional experience in killing other people.
